Principal's Weekly Awards this week go to Maisey Y7 & Isis Y11 for embracing opportunities, Abdullah Y8 & Rudi Y8 for being kind, and Amelia Y10 for taking pride. Abdullah & Rudi showed incredible sportsmanship, offering to play for a different school when team numbers were unbalanced, so that Hethersett students did not have to sit on the bench!

Year 8 students were excited to attend a performance of the Lion King musical at the Lyceum Theatre in London recently. The students thoroughly enjoyed the performance, particularly the puppetry that walked straight through the audience. A very memorable experience for all!

Principal's Weekly Awards this week go to Elsa Y7, Joe Y8 & Ashton Y11 for taking pride, and to Delphine Y9 & Harrison Y10 for working hard. Joe presented his worldview glasses on God to the class, he explained his beliefs clearly but it was also clear how interested Joe is in many different faiths and that he is maturing into a scholar of religious studies who has a genuine sense of respectful curiosity about others. He also introduced Mrs McGee to the Shona community from Zimbabwe and politely asked another student to find something out for him!
